15 Facts You (Probably) Didn’t Know About MGSV: The Phantom Pain

Many were very anticipated to see the massive open-world Metal Gear The Phantom pan had to offer that they might have passed up a minor easter egg about Ground Zeroes.

As many might already have figured out, the mastermind director, Hideo Kojima can be rescued in Ground Zeroes. Well, it has been nine years since the events that took place in Ground Zeroes and it seems that Hideo Kojima managed to get himself captured again.

Taking on Quiet’s boss battle with a sniper rifle may not be the easiest way to defeat her. As abnormal as this may sound at first, a very easy method has been discovered.

When you return to the base in need of taking a shower, Ocelot will have a special cutscene for you in which he throws a bucket of water on you. If you happen to have Quiet as your buddy at the moment, she will intervene and stop him and take you to the showers to bathe with her.
